Singer Nick Jonas and Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra sealed their love story with an intimate Indian wedding in 2018. The journey continued as they joyfully welcomed their daughter, Malti, in 2022 through the beautiful avenue of surrogacy. A recent interview with People magazine offered a candid glimpse into Nick’s personal reflections on their wedding day.
Nick shared a charming tradition that stands out in Indian weddings, describing a unique moment where the bride and groom are hoisted onto the shoulders of their respective family members. A playful exchange of garlands follows, with the couple competing to be the first to adorn each other. Nick humorously admitted, “It’s surprisingly challenging, especially with someone as competitive as Pri and me. The victor’s side of the family gains a sense of dominance.”
Beyond the light-hearted competition, this custom is steeped in familial pride. Nick elaborated, noting that the garland game is not only an amusing spectacle but also a touching way for both families to connect on a deeper level.
In addition to their Hindu wedding rituals, Nick and Priyanka embraced Christian customs, solidifying their commitment in a ceremony officiated by Nick’s father, Kevin Jonas Sr. When recalling about their Western-style wedding, Nick shared, “This experience allowed us to truly connect with both our families and with each other, which is ultimately the most significant aspect.”
The fusion of these cultural practices not only fortified their bond as a couple but also highlighted the paramount importance of family unity in Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra’s journey together. As they celebrate their love, they also celebrate the harmonious blend of traditions that enrich their lives.
